area moves through revitalization efforts. • As an advisory committee, the MCP Design Committee could report to the Planning Commission relative to any project undertaken in the • downtown and riverfront area. This process should be identified as a regular part of the planning review process for projects within down- town. • As the City considers assistance to developers of projects within downtown, the MCP Design Committee could act as an advisory com- mittee to the Economic Development Authority (the City body having jurisdiction over the assistance that might be provided to developers). Assistance should be tied to satisfaction of the Design Guidelines (as well as conformance to the vision and guiding principles for the down- town and riverfront area). 6.2 Development projects need to be signaled early enough for the MCP Design Committee to meet with potential developers to review the inten- tions of the Design Guidelines. • The City's development process should include steps related to the involvement of the MCP Design Committee for review of a develop- ment plan. • Meetings with developers should occur as one of the first steps in the development process, allowing the developer to create plans that rec- ognize the direction of the design guidelines. • For any project that requires review by the Planning Commission, the MCP Design Committee should prepare a written review of the plan, • identifying areas of conformance and/or nonconformance with the design guidelines. • For any project that requires assistance from the EDA, the MCP Design Committee should prepare a written review of the plan, identi- fying areas of conformance and/or nonconformance with the design guidelines. 6.3 The MCP Design Committee should establish a subcommittee that is appointed by the City Council for a designated term to provide legitima- cy, credibility and stability for implementation of these Design Guidelines. • In addition to the MCP Design Committee, members of a subcommit- tee for design review should include representatives from the Planning Commission and the Economic Development Authority. • Terms of subcommittee members should coincide with terms of the Planning Commission and EDA, with minimum terms of two years and a maximum of three years. Terms of the members of the subcom- mittee should be staggered. For this subcommittee, there should be no limit to the number of terms an individual may serve. • • A New Bridge Revitalizing Monticello's Downtown and Rlverfront Page 3:40
